have a truck that you can be real proud of and it looks like
you're getting to share the fun with the kid/kids. Be a great
truck for the young un's to learn to drive in.

Where did you buy your engine paint? That is one of the best gray's I've seen. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 1,186 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 1,186 | It pains me to tell you for two reasons. One it's just Dupli-Color rattle can paint. Second.....it's Ford grey. That being said it's the closest to the grey I've seen on original engines. That statement will probably open a can of worms on what is correct but I like the match (not what it matches i.e. Ford grey) so that's really all that matters.
